Nope.
Leaked screens and videos of revolutionary Microsoft tablet: "Meh, it looks neat."
Oversized iPhone announced: "IT'S OVER DESKTOPS ARE FINISHED"
Apple can release anything and people will just mindlessly praise it, no matter how useless it is.
In other news, /g/ is in rage mode right now.

GO!
I'll stick with my mom's Palm TX, thanks. Seriously, I wish I had a Palm TX, and I'd definitely use it over this... THING! Aren't there better Tablet PCs already out there anyways?

Wi-Fi comes standard. 120 extra for 3G.Loginer wrote:

My bad. The prices are still ridiculous, though.
I personally call BS on the 10hour battery life. Any laptop can run a maximum of what, 2-3 hours? No way a little thing like this with a huge monitor can run 10hours straight.

Many modern netbooks have about 7-8 hours of battery life, so 10 hours isn't that much of a stretch.Ph0X wrote:

Also:
and
I saw a list of shit it probably was not going to have (as always, most people don't see these big fails in apple products)
might not have flash (like iphone/itouch?)
No HDMI/HD output
no multi tasking (like iphone/itouch)
No camera/webcam
a little off-topic but I thought the iphone has a camera; my friend has an iphone and he's taken pictures with it pretty sure
I phone had a camera, and for two years it didn't even do video (even shitty 100$ phones can record videos).
They only recently added it in the latest version.
But yea, no far from all the info they gave, there was no information whatsoever about any camera. doesn't even have usb or anything IIRC. So it's pretty much as useful as an iphone, but bigger.
If atleast it had all the laptop stuff, then it might of been kinda cool, but it pretty much only does web/video
more shitpix for the heck of it~

it's pretty sexy though
That's the only thing Apple products have going for them IMO.
For sure. And I couldn't help but feel cheated if I didn't get 3G. The draw of this is portability, after all.Loginer wrote:

I'm gonna wait to see what's in store for the 2nd gen (let's get a webcam... and a TV or something) iPad. Once the price on these drop a couple hundred, I'll consider grabbing one myself. It's a dope concept, and what it does well will ultimately outweigh any discontent for what it doesn't do. Of course this isn't killing PCs anytime soon. Who knows though, after a couple generations shit could get wild.
Oh, and osu! will be fun on iPad.
Well, look at it this way. An iphone costs what, 600$ without a plan?
And if you look at it as a mini laptop, laptops don't have 3g
So yea, compared to the iphone, it's a pretty good price imo.

Oversized i-phone with an exorbitant price tag
Why does this warrant such hype again?
OMG OMG OMG
that is why i HATE apple productsBagnoGamer wrote:
I lol'd.
I hope we (i.e. other people) can hack Linux onto it to make decent use out of it.
I love how worked up people get over this shit. If you don't want it, don't buy it.
The fun is in the journey.phill wrote:

Apple is all shit and nothing else.
Lol, the only reason I post here and read about the iPad is because when apple releases dumb shit like that, people make a shitload of funny stuff making fun of it, so I wouldn't really call it "hype" but yea, everyone is just messing around, doubt anyone is actually llike "WTF IM MAD AT THIS CUZ IT DOESNT HAVE THIS AND THIS"
Reminds me of the Wii.
Should be interesting. I know we're getting some for work, since our clients are interested in iPad-specific apps. Shouldn't be too hard to get an iPad GUI going for osu! iPhone as well.
Except I'm still at school and have to deal with my peers raving about this expensive paper weight.phill wrote:

Bagno did indeed say it best:
the fact that people buy this shit - not just buy it, but rave about it, and look forward to it,and kill for it, is a testament to Apple's marketing department's capability.

Seriously, did the person who made this use "pixelerate" on purpose or something? iPhone can run all these crazy 3d games at crazy framerates, and i don't get why osu has to be so painfully laggy and horrible looking on it. I understand porting a game isn't an easy task but still~ :<nuudles wrote:

I did this. That's the actual osu! iPhone compiled and running on the iPad Simulator. Basically, when running in Compatibility mode, you can either run it at a small size, or you can run it where it essentially doubles all the pixels (hence why it looks so pixely). That's how it would look running directly without targeting the actual iPad.Ph0X wrote:
